Introducing the long-awaited icon-maker created using PHP GD. This application includes a JavaScript real-time icon editor that lets you customize your icon into any color, background shape/color, and size. It comes with approximately 2,500 Metro Icons included.
These icons can be downloaded to PNG or GIF after customization.
Application Requirements
To run Metro Machine, you need to have a server running PHP 4.3 or higher. It also should be running PHP GD 1.6 or higher, however it has worked on a few other versions – so test before you upgrade!
Users must have a browser that supports new HTML5 input elements and has JavaScript enabled.

Warnings and Notices
The application will not function on all web browsers. It will function appropriately on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, FireFox, Safari, and Opera, as tested. The app was not designed to be used on a mobile device, and thus most mobile browsers will not correctly render or be able to customize images.
As an alternative, if you want a version that supports all web browsers, you can contact us for a Maximum Compatibility Copy, by sending me an email (via my profile). Expect a response in less than 12 hours. The alternative copy will reduce code down to an older level, one in which still functions appropriately.
